Kumbhamela comes in every twelve years at one place. There four places (Prayag, Haridwar, Nasik and Ujjain) where Kumbhamela takes place. The Kumbhamela Festival starts in Vrindaban where all the saints come and have a meeting about how to carry on Kumbha. After Vrindaban, it goes to Haridwar, then to Prayag, then to Nasik and then to Ujjai. Thus again all the sages come to Vrindaban to have a meeting.
Garuda came to Vrindaban first with the nectar pot and then flew to Haridwar, then to Prayag and to Nasik and then to Ujjain. It happened in Satyayuga when the Milk Ocean was churned by the demigods and demons combined. Since then for millions of years Kumbha is held. Kumbha means nectar pot. Kumbha thus rotates from one place to another. Thus each three years a Kumbha takes place.
We will have a camp in every Kumbha and many people and devotees come to stay and take prasadam and bathe and have darshan of Sadhus and Yogis.
